    I haven't found much at the local goodwill the last few weeks so decided to stop by after the auction yesterday. Walking through the furniture section I saw the label on the back of the nightstand and had to read it twice for it to register. I've never seen a Danish piece at goodwill and quickly pulled it into the back of the blue truck.

    Back at the Highland House I had read the many, many advertisements and articles for similar pieces in the line attributed to the Swedish designer Nils Jonsson for Torring Mobelfabrik when I came across the recent thread at DesignAddict.com. The discussion disclosed research by the smart people there that the line was actually built by HNJ Møbler, a company founded in 1911 by Hans Nikolaj Jensen with the design most likely done by a family member.

    So contrary to the many attributions stating otherwise, the clean, handsome piece of teak I carried home was made in Denmark but not by HJN Møbler, nor was it designed by Nils Jonsson.
